AUTHOR'S  PREFACE 

In  stating  the  provenance  of  many  of  the  objects  contained  in  the  plates,  I 
have  often  only  the  statements  of  dealers  or  Arabs  to  rely  on,  still  I  am  very 
sure  that  objects  catalogued  as  coming  from  Negadeli,  Abydos,  and  Dimeh  did 
come  from  those  very  sites. 

The  most  remarkable  ])ieces  of  glaze  ware  I  have  cohered,  and  in  so  doing 
have  endeavored  to  reproduce  the  softened  tones  of  their  present  condition. 
All  glaze  ware  catalogued  as  coming  from  the  site  of  the  "Palace  of  Amenhotep 
III,  Thebes,"  was  found  upon  that  site.  Wherever  there  is  the  least  doubt, 
I  have  inserted  (  ?). 

Stone  implements  figured  in  these  pages  are  representative  specimens  from 
a  large  collection,  the  majority  of  which  are  Fayum  surface  finds.  A  specimen 
of  every  common  Fayum  type,  and  a  few  of  the  more  unusual  forms,  are  given. 

As  my  collection  is  steadily  growing,  I  have  arranged  to  publish  this  cata- 
logue in  several  volumes.

FRONTISPIECE 

I.  Bead    of  dark   blue  faience  having  the  following  inscription  inlaid  in 
bright  green: 

Ntr-nfr-Nb-  m'  '-t-r' 
gtn-s;t-IJnt-t;-nb. 

Mention  of  this  daughter  of  Amenhotep  is  rare;  bead  three  times 
natural  size  in  cut.      [Palace  of  Amenhotep  III,  Thebes.      Luxor,  1903] 

II.  A  Vulture  in  wood  (acacia-?).  Wings  outspread,  head  erect.  Covered 
with  gold  leaf,  it  has  been  inlaid  with  red,  green,  aiid  blue  glass  paste  to 
imitate,  doubtless,  jasper,  green  feldspar,  and  lapis  lazuli. 

Similar  specimen  in  Cairo  Museum  catalogued  (1898)  as  dating  from 
the  Eighteenth  Dynasty.      [Provenance  unknown.     Livadjan,  Paris,  1901] 

III.  Grold  Ring.  .  Scarab  form,  inlaid  with  glass  paste,  apple  green  and  dark 
blue,  imitating  green  feldspar  and  lapis  lazuli.  Beetle's  legs  gold, 
hollows  between  filled  in  with  green  glass.  Face  gold,  impressed  with 
design  of  the  Winged  Disk,  with  pendant  uraei;  figure  of  Dad,  supported 
by  two  uraei. 

This  ring  was  stated  to  have  come  from  Thebes,  by  the  Turk  from 
whom  I  purchased  it.     Date  Ptolemaic  (?).

IV.  Pendant  or  Pectoral  Ornament  of  soft  faun-colored  composition,  pierced 
twice  on  the  top  and  twelve  times  (approximately)  along  the  lower  edge. 

The  name  and  titles  of  Amenhotep  III  having  been  inlaid  with  dark 
blue  paste,  the  whole  was  covered  with  a  transparent  white  glaze  and 
fired.  The  artist  has  then  cut  out  a  conventionalized  lotus-flower  design, 
filled  it  in  with  gray-blue  and  dull  red  paste,  and  refired. 

The  inscription  runs  as  follows: 

S'-r'  Nb-m/-t-r'-nb-t' wj 

Height  2§  inches,  length  (along  lower  edge)  2^,  originally  about 
5  inches.  [Palace  of  Amenhotep  III,  Thebes.     Cairo,  1903] 

V.  Eye  Amulet  of  yellow  glazed  pottery  faience,  the  eye  supported  by  the 
legs  and  wings  of  a  vulture.  This  object  was  originally  inlaid  in  colored 
paste  throughout,  there  were  still  faint  traces  of  dull  red  inlaid  when  I 
purchased  it,  now  entirely  disappeared.

inlaid  with  two  parallel  lines  between  which  are  the  beginning  of  the  titu- 
lary of  Anienhotep  III.  The  ])arallel  lines  and  the  hieroglyplis  represent 
a  second  firing  and  are  done  in  white  paste,  since  turned  cream.  Length 
51  inches,  height  3j,  thickness  ^  inch. 

[Palace  of  Amenhotep  III,  Thebes.      Cairo,  1903] 

YII-VIII.     Pendant  of  soft  white  composition.      Pierced  at  the  top  with  two 
perforations  and  covered  with  a  thick  rich  yellow  glaze,  it  was  fired. 

The  inscription  on  both  faces  was  next  cut  out,  and  filled  in  with  blue 
paste;  the  object  was  then  retired.      Inscri[)tion  as  follows: 
Mwt-nbt-p-t-hmt-ntrw  (nbw) 
Mwt-nbt-Ishrw-nbt  ....

This  design,  so  common  in  the  Predynastic  Period,  is  produced  by  boring 
a  slight  cavity  in  the  object  in  hand,  placing  within  a  small,  round,  flat 
shell  bead  (itself  perforated  thi-ough  the  middle),  and  filling  up  the  cavity 
by  means  of  antimony,  or  some  similar  paste.       [Negadeh.      Luxor,  1899]

3.  Idem.  "V-shaped"  top,  well  defined.  Im})lement  has  been  polished 
before  final  chipping,  then  worked  until  the  whole  implement  was  less 
than  one-sixteenth  of  an  inch  in  thickness.  After  this  a  line  of  minute 
serrations  was  notched  along  the  edge,  down  to  tlie  lower  and  more  pointed 
half;  this  lower  part  was  meant  to  be  inserted  into  a  handle.  This 
weapon,  for  delicacy,  accuracy,  and  effectiveness,  gives  us  the  perfection

A  suitable  piece  has  l)een  struck  from  a  flint  core,  ground  upon  both  sides, 
one  face  subjected  to  compression  (or  chipped)  until  covered  with  two  lines 
of  marvelously  regular  wavy  fiakings.  These  in  turn,  toward  the  edges,  were 
given  a  shorter  flaking,  in  order  to  thin  down  the  edge.  The  implement 
was  then  finished  with  a  line  of  almost  imperceptible  serrations  along  its 
edge.  The  iinder  side  of  the  implement,  ground  throughout,  as  stated 
above,  was  left  untlaked.  Cut  shows  on  lower  part  of  implement  remains

with  a  high  polish,  so  smooth  and  bright  as  to  resemble  a  thick  transparent

the  following  would  seem  to  have  been  the  order  of  ajipearaiice: 

Archaic  Cylinders 
scarab  seals,  button  seals,  and  cylinders 

The  Cartoiich  Form  of  seal  comes  in  under  the  Twelfth  Dynasty;  under 
the  Eighteenth  Dynasty  Plaques  (appearing  first  under  Amenhotep  I),  Glazed 
Pottery  Rings,  and  Hemi-cylinders.  The  Glazed  Rings  begin  with  Thutniose 
IV,  are  at  their  best  under  Amenhotep  III  and  IV,  and  are  exti'emely  rare,  and 
very  poor  in  quality,  by  the  time  of  Ramses  III,  under  whom  they  seemed  to 
disappear.  Cylinders  also  vanish  about  this  time.  With  the  Twenty-sixth 
Dynasty  richer  materials  are  used  for  scarab  seals  and  plaques,  such  as  carne- 
lian,  amethyst,  serpentine,  etc.,  rarely,  if  ever,  inscribed.  Silver  rings,  belong- 
ing for  the  most  part  to  priests,  are  of  this  date.  With  the  Ptolemies,  large 
flat  bronze  or  stone  seals  come  into  use;  the  precious  metals  gradually  usurp 
the  place  of  stone  and  glassware.
